Here's a few ideas I had about how to make Heimerdinger less impactful and make it possible for Heimer to survive multiple turns without the opponent immediately losing:

Version 1 (Round Start Heimer):

This version of Heimerdinger would motivate players to cast only high cost spells for Heimer, instead of just spamming cheap spells like currently. Since Heimer can only summon 1 turret per round, this also prevents the spamming of 3 cost elusive turrets. This might seem like a heavy nerf, which is why I gave Heimer more stats to compensate. Also, players can summon cheap turrets from hand so that Heimer summons bigger turrets, if they cast low cost spells that turn.

Version 2 (Attack):

This version of Heimerdinger requires you to attack to get free turrets, which allows the opponent to block heimer and damage him (similar to Shen). However, with 6 Health Heimer will likely survive the first attack. This would probably be the lowest powerlevel version of Heimerdinger, but with Synergy like Sumpworks Map I think he'd still be viable.

Version 3 (Transformation):

This is probably my favorite rework of Heimerdinger since it completely changes how you play the card. By requiring an ally to get the support effect to work, this version of Heimerdinger would require actually having minions in your deck (or spells like Scrapdash Assembly). Also, because the Turret is based on the total cost of the spells you cast, it opens up interesting plays about which spells to cast to get different turrets. The versions' level up is also the most interruptible, through killing, frostbiting, or stunning the turrets. Because it also lasts across the game, it makes later Heimerdingers more likely to be able to attack as the level two version. Once Heimerdinger levels up, he becomes much more powerful and lets you make the turrets have higher stats than they would normally have. Quick Attack both reflects one of Heimerdinger's LoL abilities and makes Heimerdinger more difficult to kill while he's attacking. The stats could definitely be adjusted to make it more balanced, but I think this version of Heimerdinger is very interesting and very disruptable.

Which version of Heimerdinger do you think would be best? Are there other reworks you've thought of? 

I just wanted to put this out there for people to comment on. I had an idea for the Great Ak.'s ability in Battlegrounds. What do you guys think if his ability was costed at 0 gold and gave you an option of 3 secrets. When you choose a secret, you lose gold equal to the cost of the secret. If you're at 0 gold when you use the ability, it does nothing; if at 1 gold, it only offers 1 cost secrets; at 2 gold, it offers 1 and 2; and at 3+ gold it offers the entire pool.

Idk, makes his ice block weaker, but could make him more useful overall?

Quite usually, we see some forum posts that don't make sense, include shady and non-relevant links and the poster has no other activities on the site. These bots can already be reported, I always do when I see one, but it would be better to save some work for the moderators.

I propose that only accounts with more than 100 achievement points should be able to include links in their posts. That amount of points can be easily achieved by real people who can read by visiting the expansion guides, but it would stop bots that post on every forum they find.

Just in case I'm not the only one who missed it: HSReplay has finally extended their deck tracker to mobile! Look for "Arcane Tracker" in your app store (Android only as far as I can tell).

I noticed it yesterday in a Reddit post with a screenshot. Played about 10 games with it. Seems to run smoothly, doesn't use up too much space on the screen, very convenient!

Please add a column "Your Cost" in the table of the results here: https://outof.cards/hearthstone/decks/?is_standard=false&sort=-updated_at

You can just hide the column if the user is anonymous or does not have his collection added to the site.

I feel like the deck search and the collection upload is otherwise somewhat useless.

Hi, I just wanted to make this thread to discuss how HS could potentially learn from the innovations that LoR introduced and make the game better. Of course, HS is very unlikely to change any of its core gameplay even if it would be an improvement (due to it confusing new and returning players) but I think it could be an interesting thought experiment. Alternatively, this could be a new game mode!

1. Spell Mana: In LoR up to 3 of your unspent Mana can be kept as Spell Mana, which you can only spend on spells. HS could just directly implement Spell Mana, but I think it'd be more fitting for how HS works to make it so that any unspent Mana you have at the end of the turn reduces the cost of your next Hero Power by that much. This would allow players to play off-curve more often and might occasionally lead people to purposefully not spend Mana to save it for their next Hero Power. Additionally, it would make Inspire cards more interesting and viable.

2. Rounds instead of turns: In LoR, players also gain Mana at the start of their opponent's turn, and whenever a player plays a card the other player may play a card in response. One player has all the odd Mana turns and the other player has all the even Mana turns. HS could have a similar version of this, where whenever a player plays a minion their opponent gets initiative. Spells and minions would still resolve immediately, but with initiative swapping the opponent would still have the chance to react. For example, if your opponent plays a charge minion you could play a Taunt minion in response, or destroy the charge minion with a spell. Attacking would still work like normal and not swap initiative, which would encourage players to attack at the start of their turn. The advantage of this system is that it allows for counterplay and is a lot more engaging. It also eliminates the advantage for the first player.

What do you all think about these changes? Would this work in regular HS, or would it be better as a new mode? 

in the mobile application, how can I set the language ?

Excruciating. Feels like the longest wait ever for one. Wasn’t a big fan of AoO, pretty much why but I have a feeling this new one will be really good. Maybe news tomorrow. Sigh!

How are y’all liking ARAM? I think it’s pretty fun, despite some champions (Zed, Heimer, and Anivia) being a little too good. I’ve also noticed that the card buckets seem very random and include some very bad cards (like Lure of the Depths with no Sea Monsters). 

Hey all! I love the "dust cost to me" feature on deck pages. But right now, I don't see "cost to me" on the deck summary that's shown on pages that list a bunch of decks (like the "weekend wild decks" page). That means I see five decks that look fun, but I have to click through on each deck to see whether I can build it. Could you add the "cost to me" into the deck summary? Thanks!

Hey all! Somehow my card collection on OutOfCards got corrupted again (it's incorrectly saying I have two or three of some cards that I'm missing). Can I ask to have my collection wiped? Then I can re-import from JSON and have it right.

(Associated feature request--maybe offer a button to let us wipe our collection ourselves?)

Thanks much!

I am a new player in LoR and when i checked the store and saw the possibility to buy coins using pre paid cards. 

As far as i'm aware about there are no LoR pre paid cards in stores only LoL RP cards. 

So i wonder if i buy those LoL RP cards can i use the codes to get coins in LoR?

With any buffs he becomes hard to deal with. As a 2/6, he just destroys your board position, and when they manage to make him a 3/7 there aren't many spells that will remove him.

I don't even feel like he needed the free 3/3 Lvl 1. He's now a re-usable kill spell (That can block stuff)

Went to my homepage. It told me to click to get my Gauntlet reward.

I click on the button. Nothing happens. What is the reward and where is it?

I put together a detailed guide of every decision I made while playing Maiev. This was at 10.8k MMR in Americas Server. Some of the key points:

• Try to use your hero power as much as possible in the early game without being too picky, don't tier up on turn 2
• In the mid game, use your hero power on economy targets (pirate that sells for 3 gold or pirate that reduces your hero power tier cost), buff targets (cards that will buff your board that you don't need right away) or for possible triples in the future that you don't need to buy right away.
• The key to optimizing your hero power is planning ahead. Do you want to spend 3 gold now to strengthen your board or spend 1 gold to have it provide even better value in a future turn? Key considerations would be board state, your overall health and strength of the lobby, and whether or it helps you get a triple (do you want to discover a minion now or discover a higher tier minion later on?)
• Don't focus too much on the +1/+1 aspect of your hero power, that's just an added bonus

Just wondering what others thought about getting an alternative 'wild-themed' card back for hitting legend in wild.  It could just be a re-work of the usual one with a few more wild-esque flourishes.

As a mainly standard, occasional wild player, I think I might be more motivated to try and hit legend in wild if it resulted in an alternative card back.

Thoughts?

I've had a problem where my avatar theme, forum title, and profile header keep getting removed and I have to go back in and reset them. It's happened multiple times in the past. Any idea why this keeps happening?

So, I have yet to have the opportunity to cast this spell or have it cast against me. From the wording, it's hard for me to tell exactly what will happen.

If fewer than 6 things have died on your side, does it only summon that number of things, or do some of them get summoned twice, to make 6 copies? (Example - only 3 of your allies have died, you cast Harrowing - do only those 3 come back, or do 2 copies of each come back to make a total of 6?)

Time for some positivity! What do you like about the decks you like? For instance, I like the wide variety of combos in Quest Warlock, and I love how outcast and the amount of damage available make you think ahead in Tempo Demon Hunter. What are yours?
